“Sunday Morning”
Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I’m calling out to
you
Singing someday it’ll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you
May not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that
didn’t hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast
wasn’t bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through
my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Then I washed my face and combed
my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to
meet the day.
I’d smoked my mind the night
before
With cigarettes and songs I’d been
picking.
But I lit my first and watched a
small kid
Playing with a can that he was
kicking.
Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of
someone frying chicken.
And Lord, it took me back to
something that I’d lost
Somewhere, somehow along the
way.
On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
I’m wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
‘Cause there’s something in a
Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there’s nothing short a’ dying
That’s half as lonesome as the
sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.

I have taken long meeting some bornagain congregations praying in some tongues which I believe to have never existed. I wondered for long but now came upon this text in the bible and now I’m sharing with you what I found interesting with it. The bible explains it all, so have time reflect on this article for better understanding of the concept.
From 1CORINTHIANS 14:18-25, the bible goes……
I thank God that I speak in strange tongues much more than anyone of you. But in church worship I would rather speak five words that can be understood, inorder to teach others, than speak thousands of words in strange tongues.
Do not be like children in your thinking, my brothers and sisters; be children so far as evil is concerned, but be grown up in your thinking.
In the scriptures it is written:
“By means of people speaking strange languages
I will speak to my people, says the lord.
I will speak through lips of foreigners,
But even then my people will not listen to me.”
So then, the gift of speaking in strange tongues is proof for unbelievers, not for believers, while the gift of proclaiming God’s message is proof for believers, not, for unbelievers.
If then , the whole church meets together and everyone starts speaking in strange tongues- and if some ordinary people or unbelievers come in, won’t they say that you’re all crazy?
But if every one is proclaiming the word of God/God’s message when some unbelievers come in, they will be convinced of their sin by what they hear, their secret thoughts will be brought into the open, and they will bow down and worship the Lord, confessing, “Truly God is here among you!”
Blessed Time

Don’t worry about becoming a raging egomaniac or blind to your faults; the beauty of being able to
celebrate and love yourself is that it allows you to deal with your shortcomings in a productive way.
Secure, happy people are also confident; able to take criticism and understand their mistakes and
failings do not make them bad, unworthy people and thus have no need to be defensive or evasive
when dealing with these shortcomings.
Make time each day to celebrate your many positive attributes, your boundless potential, and the
beauty of your own existence
Enjoy as you follow,

Look in the mirror and tell yourself, “I love you.” Don’t worry if it doesn’t come naturally at first.
Keep practicing and soon you will not only be able to say those three words to yourself, but you’ll
mean them, too.

Take good care of yourself. Make nourishing your body a priority. It’s worth making the time to
ensure that you eat a varied, nutritious and tasty diet. Think of the message you are sending
yourself (and others) every time you neglect to eat or rest to take care of somebody else’s non-vital
needs.

Wear clothes that flatter and fit. You don’t nece ssarily have to become a clotheshorse, but you’ll
feel much better and have more confidence if you wear clothes that fit and are comfortable.

Don’t be afraid or ashamed to do things solo. Many people miss out on events and opportunities
because they don’t have anyone to go with them. Know you have the confidence to be independent
and exult in the freedom that comes from being able to set your own agenda.

Modesty and humility are wonderful, but they shouldn’t keep you from taking pride in your own
accomplishments. You don’t need to brag, but you also don’t need to downplay your
accomplishments or apologize for them. When you have good news to share, tell people exactly
what happened and why it makes you so happy. You aren’t doing anything wrong by spreading joy
and happiness!

Give yourself the downtime you deserve. Make time for the things that relax and refresh you,
even if it means that you can’t be 100% available for everyone else. Recognize your needs are just
as important as everyone else’s and that it’s up to you to make sure that they are taken care of.

Spread your joyful spirit by smiling as often as you can. Take pride in knowing that your
happiness is infectious and you can make so many days brighter just by flashing your grin.

Have fun picking a motto and theme song for your life. Shaft isn’t the only bad motha’ who should
have a theme song. Find one which suits your bad self and don’t be afraid to hum it or sing it to
yourself from time to time. If mottos are more your style, feel free to mentally repeat yours as often
as needed to keep you on your happy path.

Surround yourself with positive people. Not yes-men, rather people who have a can-do spirit and
lift those around them up instead of dragging them down. Don’t feel like you always have to be the
one lifting everyone else up, particularly if they don’t seem receptive. Be there for others during
their times of need but know that you can, and should, cut loose people who fill your life with
negativity and self-doubt. Positivity and negativity are infectious.

Speak up because what you have to say is worth hearing. Don’t wait for somebody else to say
what you are thinking or hope that others can read your mind, You won’t always get your way and
people will disagree with you, but you should never be the one to tell yourself that your voice
doesn’t count.

Your problem is that in love, as in everything else, you just have to have two
of everything. The day’s planetary aspect says this is fine, as long as you
are willing to deal with the consequences. If it’s one partner for each side of
your schizophrenic personality, then you might just get away with it. You will
probably be satisfied – but will you be happy?

You always did adore talking, and you will especially today. Your lover may find it
hard to get a word in edgewise, even if you are going blue in the face through lack
of breath. But others like to express their feelings, as well. Seriously, if you can
keep still, and try ever so hard to listen without fidgeting, you may hear something
to your advantage.

It’s been a long day without you, my

Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see

Good things we been through

And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reached
So remember me when I’m gone
